Nashville, TN, August 8, 2026 —
Fort Wayne, IN – The Allen County Prosecutor’s Office has announced that no criminal charges will be filed in connection with the death of Anita Grayson, a 75-year-old woman who passed away following a physical altercation at a Tim Hortons restaurant. The incident involved Grayson and an employee of the establishment.
According to the prosecutor’s office, the decision was made after a thorough investigation into the events that transpired. The office concluded that the Tim Hortons employee involved in the altercation was acting in defense of a coworker and themselves at the time of the physical confrontation.
The investigation also determined that Grayson’s death was not directly caused by the altercation itself. Instead, her passing was attributed to the exacerbation of a pre-existing heart condition. The manner of death has been officially classified as undetermined.
The Allen County Prosecutor’s Office stated that based on the available evidence and legal standards, there is insufficient grounds to pursue criminal charges against the Tim Hortons employee.
